Why is the Building Envelope Important?
Wednesday, March 19, 2025
8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. EST
Speaker:
Andy Cockburn, Senior Director, Education and Impact, NAIMA Canada
The building envelope plays a pivotal role in how individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole consume energy. In Canada, buildings account for a significant portion of energy use, particularly for heating and cooling. This daily operation of heating and cooling systems also contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By designing and constructing tighter, better-insulated building envelopes, we can conserve energy, maintain comfort for longer periods, and significantly reduce the emissions produced by our systems—all through thoughtful planning and craftsmanship.
Join us for an insightful webinar as we explore the critical role of the building envelope, its impact on energy efficiency, and common defects to watch for during inspections.
